  • raikohru holly (@raikohru) reported

    Anyone else having trouble trying to join groups on overwatch? It keeps saying ‘an error occurred while accepting invite’. I’m on Xbox

  • ArcticFluffys Arctic -NSFW DNI- (@ArcticFluffys) reported

    @cypress_cg valorant is like overwatch + csgo because you have to plant bombs and use abilities there's also aim error whcih means you can't just run and gun (walk and shoot at the same time) because it'll make you inaccurate

  • poppy_haze Rev. Poppy Haze (@poppy_haze) reported

    @Boringstein i might be mixing up my overwatch characters but i do not care enough to fix it

  • yeaitsconnor Connor (@yeaitsconnor) reported

  • faIIen4u sava (@faIIen4u) reported

  • XNightWolfieX ~ Wølfie🌙 ~ (@XNightWolfieX) reported

    I'm sorry who try to join my stream and I will stream on Friday and I hoping my wifi work correctly and does not lag my games like Apex Legends or Overwatch 2 and Warframe

  • HelmHambrgrHand HelmBurger (@HelmHambrgrHand) reported

    Overwatch officially has a shite broken rank system. 3rd straight 7 run w/ maybe 10-12 loses between all 3 runs and stuck at the same rank... Despite even carrying the heals some games... By a large margine

  • geekedoveryou Asia (@geekedoveryou) reported

    @WashedonPC It’s not a xim issue I’ve found, I’ve tried resetting it so many times. sometimes it’ll vary between accounts and started the DAY overwatch 2 came out. I’m so tired of it it’s been months and it feels like I spend an hour every day trying to fix it when I get on :/

  • LavenderGoomzz LavenderGoomzz (@LavenderGoomzz) reported

    @nicolevicina I want Overwatch to fix matchmaking

  • seffsapling seth (@seffsapling) reported

    i have a rly good idea on how to fix overwatch 2. simply remove every tank except for rein and monkey boom the game is fun again

  • Pasta_Taco Antonio!!! (@Pasta_Taco) reported

    @Stealth40k Yay! I've been waiting for something like this to get 4 copies of Splatoon 3 for the family. I love physical games, but with a game like that, it almost feels like there's no point. The service is over when the service is over. My physical copy of Overwatch will attest to that.

  • bryannaalysa Bree (@bryannaalysa) reported

    overwatch took away loot boxes and now i can’t login to the game. they suck butt now

  • ayeeriaan Rian (@ayeeriaan) reported

    I play any other game lag free, but when I play Overwatch now I just lag and get kicked out

  • 808wtf VooDoo 👾 (@808wtf) reported

    @Nomporu that's any and every team based game, not an overwatch specific or ranked problem just play fighting games fr!

  • TysonB31762964 TysonB (@TysonB31762964) reported

    @Mr_Bluepoint Playstation players won’t lose Cod, Overwatch, Diablo, Crash, Spyro and Tony Hawk. Act/Bliz would never put their PC games on console unless Xbox buys them(AOE). The only thing Playstation will miss out on is new IP’s that might not have even gotten green lit unless buyout.

    For the people whining about leavers and such in Overwatch. The problem isn't LEAVERS, the problem is terrible games. Improve match quality, and people will stay, simple. #Overwatch #Overwatch2

  • AeonArcadia Aeon Arcadia 🌌⏳ {EN VTuber} (@AeonArcadia) reported

    Valorant is having a MASSIVE FPS dip issue on my PC, no idea what is happening it worked fine 2 months ago when I last played soooo Time to move into Overwatch then, if anyone has any suggestions on what's wrong with VALORANT I'd appreciate the assistance! #VTuber #VALORANT

  • WldwckHSEsports WaldwickHSEsports (@WldwckHSEsports) reported

    Had a bye week last week in Overwatch & Valorant. This week's Valorant had a technical glitch, but excited for tomorrow's Overwatch matches in both GSE & HSEL.

  • Casual_Jacob_ Jacob🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@Casual_Jacob_) reported

    Well, now I can't get Overwatch to open at all. Throws up an error code that Google tells me is related to my graphics card/drivers. Everything is up to date on the new drivers and Windows is up to date. >.< So I'm trying to figure out what all I need to do.

  • cyancy11 cyancy (@cyancy11) reported

    @LuciePohlComedy I'm sorry to bother you in your work update. I am a loyal Overwatch player from China, and I like the role of Mercy very much. Now the service area in China is no longer available, which is a great pity for Chinese players. That's why I want to ask you about the dubbing work.

  • ackermanteashop emi ᥫ᭡ (@ackermanteashop) reported

    is overwatch not letting anyone else invite people to play with you? i’m trying to invite someone and they’ve tried inviting me but an error message keeps popping up but we’re both still able to get into a game just not together

  • GeekNamedMike MiKE (@GeekNamedMike) reported

    @Piepok My problem is, I just feel so tired that I just end up playing Overwatch 2, aimlessly playing it, then I feel like I've wasted my gaming time. Going to stop playing it and try focus on Dead Space

  • McginlayCallum bleed Liverpool red (@McginlayCallum) reported

    @nagato1098 @MootLong @SamitoFPS Oh you were the one who said sojourn is only broken because of mercy, you literally have zero understanding of game balance or even just an understanding of what overwatch is lmfao

  • JustCallMeDay Esteban Ruiz (@JustCallMeDay) reported
